Approximation of Viscoelastic Stresses from Newtonian Turbulent Kinematics

Abstract

A report on work conducted in the area of non-Newtonian turbulent kinematics. A summary of rheological measurements in turbulent non-Newtonian flows is given. A technique for approximating non-Newtonian viscoelastic stresses from Newtonian kinematics obtained by direct numerical simulation is presented. Keywords: Drag reduction; Turbulence; Nonnewtonian flow.
